ARTICLE II

THE LOAN

2.1 Agreement to Lend. Lender hereby agrees to lend up to but not in excess of the Loan Amount to Borrower , and Borrower hereby agrees to borrow up to but not in excess of such sum from Lender, all upon and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such sum to be evidenced by the Note. No principal amount repaid by Borrower may be reborrowed by Borrower. Borrower’s liability for repayment of the interest on account of the Loan shall be limited to and calculated with respect to Loan proceeds actually disbursed to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Note and only from the date or dates of such disbursements. After an Event of Default, Lender may, in Lender’s discretion, disburse Loan proceeds by journal entry to pay interest and financing costs and disburse Loan proceeds directly

to third parties to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement. Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender by journal entry to pay interest or financing costs, and Loan proceeds disbursed directly by Lender to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute Advances to Borrower.

2.2 Advances. The purposes for which Loan proceeds are allocated and the respective amounts of such Allocations are set forth in the Budget. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Advances shall be made on a monthly basis during the term of the Loan.

2.3 Allocations. The Advances shall be disbursed only for the purposes and in respect of the Allocations set forth in the Budget. Lender shall not be obligated to make an Advance for an Allocation set forth in the Budget to the extent that the amount of the Advance for such Allocation would, when added to all prior Advances for such Allocation, exceed the total of such Allocation as set forth in the Budget.

2.4 Limitation on Advances. To the extent that Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender pursuant to the Allocations are insufficient to pay all costs required for the acquisition, development, construction and completion of the Mortgaged Property after contribution of the Borrower’s Equity as required pursuant to Section 5.26 hereof, Borrower shall pay such excess costs with funds derived from sources other than the Loan. Under no circumstances shall Lender be required to disburse any proceeds of the Loan in excess of the Loan Amount.

2.5 Reallocations. If expenses incurred to complete, or that will be incurred to complete, a particular line item in the Budget are less than the amount allocated to such item in the Budget (the “Savings”) and Borrower provides Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such Savings, Borrower may use any Savings to cover any contingencies or cost overruns in any other particular line item in the Budget without consent of Lender; provided, however, that no Savings shall be reallocated from the interest reserve line item on the Budget or to the developer’s fee or contractor’s fee line items in the Budget.

2.6 Contingency Allocations. Any amount allocated in the Budget for “contingencies” may be disbursed upon the request of the Borrower on a percentage of completion basis without the Lender’s consent. Borrower has the right to request the Lender to disburse amounts on an accelerated basis and the Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such a request.

2.7 Regulatory Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, in no event shall Lender be required to disburse, nor shall Borrower be entitled to demand that Lender disburse, all or any portion of the Loan if the amount of the Loan would, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, cause Lender to exceed the lending limit to a single borrower under any applicable state or federal law, regulation or ruling. If Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, at any time (including after any portion or all of the Loan has been disbursed) that the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents violates such lending limit restriction, then Lender shall have the right to immediately reduce the amount of credit available under the Note to an amount that complies with the Lender’s understanding of what its loan limit is.

2.8 Withholding on Advances. Lender may withhold from an Advance or, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold from a later Advance under this Agreement, or require Borrower to repay to Lender the whole or any part of any earlier Advance, to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Lender from loss on account of (i) defective work as determined by the Inspecting Person not remedied or requirements of this Agreement not performed after notice and opportunity to cure in the manner specified in Section 7.1, (ii) liens filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of liens against the Mortgaged Property, unless the same are bonded around in a manner satisfactory to the Lender, (iii) failure of Borrower to make payments to subcontractors for material or labor, subject to Borrower’s rights to contest the same in good faith, and, where Lender requires, the establishment of cash reserves for such contested claim, or (iv) a reasonable doubt that the construction can be completed for the balance of the Loan Amount then undisbursed unless Borrower has satisfied the requirements of Section 2.4 herein. When all such grounds are removed, payment shall be made of any amount so withheld because of them.

2.9 Loan Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of the Loan with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $7,500,000.00, (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the cost of the Improvements or (iii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the fair market value thereof, as reflected in a MAI appraisal acceptable to Lender.

2.10 Appraisal Right. In the event that any appraisal is required or desired by Lender (no more than annually unless an Event of Default exists), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Comptroller of Currency or other governmental entity or quasi-governmental entity which has the authority and power to regulate the business and other activities of Lender (“Regulatory Authority”), Lender may (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) obtain an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property in form, substance and by an appraising firm acceptable to Lender and, if applicable, the Regulatory Authority requiring such appraisal. All appraisals will be performed by state certified appraisers estimating the market value as defined in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and will need all the requirements and instructions found in the regulations at 12 C.F.R. Part 34.44.

benefit of Borrower, it shall be payable to Lender as Lender’s interest may appear; (b) the coverage of Lender shall not be terminated, reduced, or affected in any manner regardless of any breach or violation by Borrower of any warranties, declarations, or conditions in such policy; (c) no such insurance policy shall be canceled, not renewed, endorsed, altered, or reissued to effect a change in coverage for any reason and to any extent whatsoever unless such insurer shall have first given Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof; and (d) Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make premium payments to prevent any cancellation, endorsement, alteration, or reissuance, and such payments shall be accepted by the insurer to prevent same.

No Advance of the proceeds of the Loan shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default.

3.5 Borrower’s Deposit. If at any time Lender shall in its reasonable discretion deem that the undisbursed proceeds of the Loan together with Borrower’s Equity contributions as required pursuant to Section 5.26 are insufficient to meet the costs of completing construction of the Improvements, plus the costs of insurance, ad valorem taxes and other normal costs of the Improvements, Lender may refuse to make any additional Advances to Borrower hereunder until Borrower shall have deposited with Lender sufficient additional funds (“Borrower’s Deposit”) or Borrower shall have received additional equity to cover the deficiency which Lender reasonably deems to exist.

3.7 Time and Place of Advances. All Advances are to be made at the office of Lender, or at such other place as Lender may designate; and Lender shall require at least five (5) days’ prior notice in writing before the making of any such Advance. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Advances are to be made by direct deposit into the Special Account.

(e) a final lien waiver in a form acceptable to the Lender is exchanged for final payment.

3.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any materialmen, subcontractors, contractors, laborers or others for goods and materials supplied or work and labor furnished in connection with the construction of the Improvements or for debts or claims accruing to any such persons or entities against Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for the manner in which any Advances under this Agreement may be applied by Borrower, Contractor and any of Borrower’s other contractors or subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before or after signing the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any other person or entity other than Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advances made to any contractor, subcontractor or supplier of labor or materials, pursuant to any requests for Advances, whether or not such request is required to be approved by Borrower, shall not be deemed a recognition by Lender of a third-party beneficiary status of any such person or entity.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or inferable from any provision of this Agreement, the Note shall mature, and shall be immediately due and payable in full without the necessity of any further action on the part of the Lender, on the Maturity Date. However, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise the Extended Maturity Date Option, in which event the Note shall mature on the Extended Maturity Date, and shall be immediately due and payable in full without the necessity of any further action on the part of the Lender, if, respectively, the following conditions are met:

respects as of the date of the Extended Maturity Date; and if requested by Lender, Borrower shall give to Lender a certificate to that effect.

The fiscal year of Borrower ends on December 31.

5.22 Reserve for Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Upon the occurrence of, and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each month a monthly escrow for taxes and insurance in an amount determined by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, as being necessary to pay taxes and insurance premiums with respect to the Mortgaged Property which next become due. Such annual amounts of taxes or insurance premiums shall be fully escrowed at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof in an interest bearing and segregated account. Any excess reserve shall, at the discretion of Lender, be credited by Lender on subsequent reserve payments or subsequent payments to be made on the Note by the maker thereof. In the event there exists a deficiency in such fund or reserve at any time when ad valorem taxes or insurance premiums are due and payable, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, advance the amount of such deficiency on behalf of Borrower and such amounts so advanced shall become a part of the Indebtedness, shall be immediately due and

payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such advance through and including the date of repayment. Transfer of legal title to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust shall automatically transfer to the holder of legal title to the Mortgaged Property the interest of Borrower in all sums deposited with Lender under the provisions hereof or otherwise.

(a) During the continuation of an Event of Default, the amount of the monthly tax escrow account payment shall be in the amount as Lender shall from time to time reasonably determine based upon the prior or current year’s ad valorem taxes for the Mortgaged Property. The initial tax escrow payment shall be due on the first day of the first calendar month after the date hereof, in the amount of one-twelfth (1/12) of the ad valorem taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property for the current taxable year, if such taxes have been then established, or otherwise based on the prior year’s taxes (with any adjustment thereto as Lender may determine to be to appropriate), multiplied by a number equal to twelve (12) less the number of whole months remaining until the next calendar September 1st. Thereafter, the amount of the monthly ad valorem tax escrow payment shall be one-twelfth (1/12th) of the ad valorem taxes estimated by Lender as applicable for the then current tax year, as same may be adjusted by Lender from time to time. On or after October 1st and on or before December 31st of each year, Borrower will deliver to Lender a statement or statements showing the amount of such ad valorem taxes required to be paid and the taxing authority to which same is payable. Borrower will, at the same time, deposit with Lender such additional amounts as will, when added to the amount of ad valorem tax escrows previously deposited with Lender and then remaining available for that purpose, be sufficient to pay such ad valorem tax obligations with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Upon delivery by Borrower to Lender of such statements and such additional funds, if the same is necessary, Lender shall apply such deposits in payment of such ad valorem tax obligations. Neither Lender nor Borrower shall be required to pay or cause to be paid such ad valorem taxes affecting the Mortgaged Property if the payment thereof is being contested by Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Deed of Trust.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, on the first day of the first calendar month after the date thereof, Borrower shall escrow with Lender an amount for insurance premiums equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the current annual cost of insurance premiums for the insurance policies required pursuant to the Loan Documents, multiplied by a number equal to twelve (12) less the number of whole months remaining until thirty (30) days prior to the next annual payment date for such insurance premiums. Thereafter, the amount of the monthly insurance premium escrow payment shall be one-twelfth (1/12) of the current annual cost for insurance premiums on all insurance policies required by the Loan Documents, as adjusted by Lender from time to time. On or before one (1) month prior to the due date for the next annual insurance premiums, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the statement or invoice therefor, together with such additional funds as will, when added to the amount of insurance premium previously escrowed with Lender and then remaining available for such purpose, be sufficient to pay such insurance premiums. Upon delivery of such statements and such additional funds, if the same is necessary, Lender shall apply such deposits in payment of such insurance premiums.

5.23 Equity Contribution. As a condition precedent to Lender’s obligation to disburse each Advance of proceeds of the Loan, Borrower shall at the same time advance from the Equity its proportionate share of the draw request.

5.24 Other Activities. Borrower shall not now or at any time until the Indebtedness has been fully repaid and the Obligations have been fully satisfied or discharged own, acquire, construct or operate or contract to own, acquire, construct or operate any other commercial real estate properties, without Lender’s prior written approval, which such approval shall be in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) resulting from any failure of Borrower to so perform.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower such action as Lender may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default under any Construction Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower or Lender thereunder. Lender shall incur no liability if any action so taken by it or in its behalf shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, and Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any such action, except for the willful misconduct of Lender or Lender’s agents or employees.

(d) Upon Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, in Borrower’s or Lender’s name, to enforce all rights of Borrower under each Construction Contract. Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable.

(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to exercise its rights as owner under each Construction Contract, provided that Borrower shall not cancel or amend any Construction Contract or do or suffer to be done any act which would impair the security constituted by this assignment without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(f) This assignment shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, any purchaser upon foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, any receiver in possession of the Mortgaged Property and any corporation affiliated with Lender which assumes Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

6.2 Assignment of Plans and Specifications. As additional security for the Loan, Borrower hereby collaterally transfers and collaterally assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Plans and Specifications and hereby represents and warrants to and agrees with Lender as follows:

(a) Each schedule of the Plans and Specifications delivered or to be delivered by Borrower to Lender is and shall be a complete and accurate description of the Plans and Specifications.

(b) The Plans and Specifications are and shall be complete and adequate for the construction of the Improvements and there have been no modifications thereof except as described in such schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Plans and Specifications shall not be modified without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(c) Lender may use the Plans and Specifications for any purpose relating to the Improvements, including but not limited to inspections of construction and the completion of the Improvements.

(d) Lender’s acceptance of this assignment shall not constitute approval of the Plans and Specifications by Lender. Lender has no liability or obligation in connection with the Plans and Specifications and no responsibility for the adequacy thereof or for the construction of the Improvements contemplated by the Plans and Specifications. Lender has no duty to inspect the Improvements, and if Lender should inspect the Improvements, Lender shall have no liability or obligation to Borrower or any other party arising out of such inspection. No such inspection nor any failure by Lender to make objections after any such inspection shall constitute a representation by Lender that the Improvements are in accordance with the Plans and Specifications or any other requirement or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right thereafter to insist that the Improvements be constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications or any other requirement.

(e) This collateral assignment shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, any purchaser upon foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, any receiver in possession of the Mortgaged Property and any corporation affiliated with Lender which assumes Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

6.3 Assignment of Design Services Contract. As additional security for the payment of the Loan, Borrower hereby collaterally transfers and collaterally assigns to Lender as security in the Indebtedness all of Borrower’s rights and interest, but not its obligations, in, under and to each Design Services Contract upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) Borrower represents and warrants that the copy of each Design Services Contract Borrower has furnished or will furnish to Lender is or will be (as applicable) a true and complete copy thereof, including all amendments thereto, if any, and that Borrower’s interest therein is not subject to any claim, setoff or encumbrance.

(b) Neither this assignment nor any action by Lender shall constitute an assumption by Lender of any obligations under any Design Services Contract, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all obligations of Borrower thereunder, Borrower hereby agreeing to perform all of its obligations under each Design Services Contract. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) resulting from any failure of Borrower to so perform.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower such action as Lender may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default under any Design Services Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower or Lender thereunder. Lender shall incur no liability if any action so taken by it or in its behalf shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, and Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any such action, except the willful misconduct of Lender or Lender’s agents or employees.

(d) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, in Borrower’s or Lender’s name, to enforce all rights of Borrower under each Design Services Contract. Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable.

(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to exercise its rights as owner under each Design Services Contract, provided that Borrower shall not cancel or amend any Design Services Contract or do or suffer to be done any act which would impair the security constituted by this assignment without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(f) This collateral assignment shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, any purchaser upon foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, any receiver in possession of the Mortgaged Property and any corporation affiliated with Lender which assumes Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

7.2 Remedies. Lender shall have the right, upon the happening and continuance of an Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period, in addition to any rights or remedies available to it under all other Loan Documents, to enter into possession of the Mortgaged Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. All amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been disbursed to Borrower as Loan proceeds and secured by the Deed of Trust. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to complete the Improvements in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers Lender, acting as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, as follows: to use any funds of Borrower, including any balance which may be held in escrow, any Borrower’s Deposit and any funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder, for the purpose of completing the Improvements in the manner called for by the Plans and Specifications; to make such additions and changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications which shall be necessary to complete the Improvements in the manner contemplated by the Plans and Specifications; to continue all or any existing construction contracts or subcontracts; to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, design professionals and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Mortgaged Property, or may be necessary for the completion of the work or the clearing of title; to execute all the applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any construction contract; and to do any and every act with respect to the construction of the Improvements which Borrower could do in Borrower’s own behalf.

connection with the Mortgaged Property and to take such action and require such performance as is deemed necessary.

ARTICLE VIII

LENDER’S DISCLAIMERS - BORROWER’S INDEMNITIES

8.1 No Obligation by Lender to Construct. Lender has no liability or obligation whatsoever or howsoever in connection with the Mortgaged Property or the development, construction or completion thereof or work performed thereon, and has no obligation except to disburse the Loan proceeds as herein agreed. Lender is not obligated to inspect the Improvements nor is Lender liable, and under no circumstances whatsoever shall Lender be or become liable, for the performance or default of any contractor or subcontractor, or for any failure to construct, complete, protect or insure the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or for the payment of any cost or expense incurred in connection therewith, or for the performance or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower to Lender nor to any other person, firm or entity without limitation. Nothing, including without limitation any disbursement of Loan proceeds or Borrower’s Deposit nor acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as such a representation or warranty, express or implied, on Lender’s part.

8.2 No Obligation by Lender to Operate. Any term or condition of any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall not have, and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims, any obligation or responsibility for the management, conduct or operation of the business and affairs of Borrower. Any term or condition of the Loan Documents which permits Lender to disburse funds, whether from the proceeds of the Loan, Borrower’s Deposit or otherwise, or to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to Borrower, the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral for repayment of the Loan, shall be deemed to be solely to permit Lender to audit and review the management, operation and conduct of the business and affairs of Borrower and to maintain and preserve the security given by Borrower to Lender for the Loan, and may not be relied upon by any other person. Further, Lender shall not have, has not assumed and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of Borrower and no term or condition of the Loan Documents, shall be construed otherwise. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges that no term or condition of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of borrower and lender, and Borrower shall at all times represent that the relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of borrower and lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Lender harmless from and against any cost, expense or liability incurred or suffered by Lender as a result of any assertion or claim of any obligation or responsibility of Lender for the management, operation and conduct of the business and affairs of Borrower or as a result of any assertion or claim of any liability or responsibility of Lender for the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.

8.3 INDEMNITY BY BORROWER. BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS,

DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (THE “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES”) FROM, AND HOLDS EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT, INSOFAR AS SUCH LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR FROM ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT INTENDING TO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ITS INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS AS STATED HEREIN OR AS STATED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IN THE EVENT ANY CLAIM OR DEMAND IS MADE OR ANY OTHER FACT COMES TO THE ATTENTION OF LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATING OR PERTAINING TO, OR ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH LENDER REASONABLY BELIEVES MIGHT INVOLVE OR LEAD TO SOME LIABILITY OF LENDER, BORROWER SHALL, IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT OF WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF ANY SUCH CLAIM OR DEMAND, ASSUME IN FULL THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH CLAIM OR DEMAND AND PAY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, DEFICIENCY, LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LEGAL FEES AND COURT COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. IN THE EVENT OF COURT ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CLAIM OR DEMAND, BORROWER SHALL ASSUME IN FULL THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH ACTION AND SHALL IMMEDIATELY SATISFY AND DISCHARGE ANY FINAL DECREE OR JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREIN. LENDER MAY, IN ITS REASONABLE DISCRETION, MAKE ANY PAYMENTS SUSTAINED OR INCURRED BY REASON OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING; AND BORROWER SHALL IMMEDIATELY REPAY TO LENDER, IN CASH AND NOT WITH PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN, THE AMOUNT OF SUCH PAYMENT, WITH INTEREST THEREON AT THE MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW FROM THE DATE OF SUCH PAYMENT. LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO JOIN BORROWER AS A PARTY DEFENDANT IN ANY LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST LENDER, AND BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ENTRY OF AN ORDER MAKING BORROWER A PARTY DEFENDANT TO ANY SUCH ACTION.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BORROWER SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO REIMBURSE ANY MEMBER OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES, IN ANY ACTION WHERE THERE IS A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IMPOSING UPON THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY LIABILITY FOR ACTS OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

8.4 No Agency. Nothing herein shall be construed as making or constituting Lender as the agent of Borrower in making payments pursuant to any construction contracts or

subcontracts entered into by Borrower for construction of the Improvements or otherwise. The purpose of all requirements of Lender hereunder is solely to allow Lender to check and require documentation (including, but not limited to, lien waivers) sufficient to protect Lender and the Loan contemplated hereby. Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures required by Lender, Borrower whereby acknowledging that Borrower has sole responsibility for constructing the Improvements and paying for work done in accordance therewith and that Borrower has solely, on Borrower’s own behalf, selected or approved each contractor, each subcontractor and each materialman, Lender having no responsibility for any such persons or entities or for the quality of their materials or workmanship.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Borrower and Lender, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.

9.2 Headings. The Article, Section, and Subsection entitlements hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify, define or be used in construing the text of such Articles, Sections or Subsections.

9.3 Survival. The provisions hereof shall survive the execution of all instruments herein mentioned, shall continue in full force and effect until the Loan has been paid in full and shall not be affected by any investigation made by any party.

9.4 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. COURTS WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION OVER ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT; AND VENUE IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE WHETHER IN FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SHALL BE LAID IN XXXXXX COUNTY, TEXAS.

9.6 Reliance by Lender. Lender is relying and is entitled to rely upon each and all of the provisions of this Agreement; and accordingly, if any provision or provisions of this Agreement should be held to be invalid or ineffective, then all other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding.

9.7 Participations. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to grant participations in the Loan and Loan Documents. Each participant shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender regarding the creditworthiness of Borrower, any of its principals and any guarantor (if any), including (without limitation) information required to be disclosed to a participant pursuant to Banking Circular 181 (Rev., August 2, 1984), issued by the Comptroller of the Currency (whether the participant is subject to the circular or not). Notwithstanding the above, Lender expressly agrees not to grant participations to Southern National Bank in the Loan and Loan Documents.

9.8 Interest Provisions.

(a) Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Note or the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if the Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall,

with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

(b) Definitions. As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by the Note and the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Lender in connection with the transactions relating to the Note and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law. As used herein, the term “Related Indebtedness” shall mean any and all debt paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, except such debt which has been paid or is payable by Borrower to Lender under the Note.

(c) Ceiling Election. To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law

instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

9.9 Controlling Document. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

9.10 Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this instrument may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this instrument to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages.

9.11 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OF OR BY LENDER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

9.12 WAIVER OF CONSUMER RIGHTS. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES BORROWER’S RIGHTS UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 17, SUBCHAPTER E, SECTION 17.41 THROUGH 17.63 INCLUSIVE OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE, GENERALLY KNOWN AS THE “DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT,” A LAW THAT GIVES CONSUMERS SPECIAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS. AFTER CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY OF BORROWER’S OWN SELECTION, BORROWER VOLUNTARILY CONSENTS TO THIS WAIVER. IT IS THE INTENT OF LENDER AND BORROWER THAT THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY LEGAL PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT. THE WAIVER SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THE REFERENCED TRANSACTION. BORROWER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO LENDER THAT BORROWER (I) IS A BUSINESS CONSUMER, (II) HAS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MATTERS THAT ENABLE BORROWER TO EVALUATE THE MERITS AND RISKS OF THE SUBJECT TRANSACTION, (III) IS NOT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY DISPARATE BARGAINING POSITION WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT TRANSACTION, AND (IV) HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL (WHO WAS NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IDENTIFIED,

SUGGESTED OR SELECTED BY LENDER OR LENDER’S AGENTS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE REFERENCED TRANSACTION.

9.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS INSTRUMENT MAY BE AMENDED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING EXECUTED BY THE PARTIES HERETO.
